Frequently asked questions about the Scopus MCP Server
Can I search for specific authors using their names or ORCID?
Yes! Use the search_author tool to find profiles by name or affiliation, or use get_author if you already have a specific Scopus Author ID to retrieve their full metrics and H-index.
How do I get a breakdown of citations per year for a specific paper?
You can use the get_citation_overview tool. Provide the DOI or Scopus ID and an optional date range (e.g., 2018-2023) to see how the document's impact has evolved over time.
Can the AI help me evaluate the quality of a journal?
Absolutely. By using the get_serial_title tool, your agent can retrieve official metrics like CiteScore, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank), and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper) for any journal.
